Though being a superhero film, it is the most unique: you will see the first female superhero starred by Gal Gadot. On general release from 1 June.‎ The Mummy Tom Cruise awakens an ancient princess who has now become a mummy. Cruise jumps from the sky, runs around a lot and wakes up naked in a sleeping bag – but it’s Sofia Boutella as the Mummy who draws the most attention. Director Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella as the Mummy: “If you look at her eyes, there's a whole performance going on here. Even not saying anything, she can convey something very emotional to me.”On general release from 8 June.‎ Baby Driver Ansel Elgort is a getaway driver, who is forced to work for a crime boss. This is a comedy-action-romance from British writer-director Edgar Wright. The sound in the film is as great as the visuals, which makes it much like a musical, but it is quite different from La La Land. Baby Driver isn’t just a series of song pieces. Instead, it finds its form in the elegant, rapid-fire combination of movement and sound. Released 28 June in Canada and the US.‎ A Man Called Ove This film has become one of Sweden’s most popular comedies. In the film a lonely retiree who ‎ has given up on life, was trying to kill himself, but all his attempts failed. Meanwhile, he developed an unlikely friendship with his Persian neighbor. It is really a tearjerker (赚人热泪的) film, which is funny, tragic, and heartwarming as well. Released 25 May in Hong Kong, 30 June in the UK.‎ ‎21. If you are a big fan of Batman and Superman, which film will you like best?‎ A. Wonder Woman B. The Mummy C. Baby Driver D. A Man Called Ove ‎22. Alex Kurtzman speaks highly of Sofia Boutella because________.‎ A. her eyes are very beautiful B. she doesn’t say anything as the mummy in the film C. she gives an excellent performance D. she is a woman with strong emotions ‎23. Which of the following statements is right according to the text?‎ A. Wonder woman is the first female superhero.‎ B. Sofia Boutella performs as well as Tom Cruise.‎ C. Baby Driver is a musical like La la Land.‎ D. The audience of A Man Called Ove may experience different feelings.‎ B When I was a boy there were no smart phones, and our television only got one channel clearly. Still, I was never bored. The fields, hills, and woodlands around my home were the perfect playground. I can remember once hiking to a nearby lake. At the backside of it I was amazed to find an old dirt road that I had never seen before. It was full of muddy tracks and deep woods bordered it on both sides, but exploring it still seemed like a fine adventure.‎ ‎ I walked on and on for hours. I was sure my guardian angel was whispering in my ear “turn around and head back home”, but I was stubborn, so I walked on. There was still neither a car nor a house in sight. I noticed that the sun was starting to go down and I grew scared. I didn’t want to end up trapped on this road, and I was worried that it would be dark before I could make my way back to the lake again.‎ I continued to walk on with something growing inside of me. My heart was pounding and my legs were aching. I was almost in tears when I turned one last curve and saw something in the ‎ distance. It was a house that I recognized. I jumped up and down and laughed out loud. It was still over a mile away but my legs felt like feathers and I hurried back to my house in no time. I walked in with a big smile on my face just in time for dinner.‎ ‎ I remembered this recently when I saw a sign that said: “All roads lead home.” It is true. In this life, all roads, no matter how they twist and turn, can lead us home again. What is important, though, is how we travel them. Are we going to go forth in fear or are we going to go forth in faith? Are we going to make this life a terrible trip or are we going to make this life a joyful journey? The choice is ours.‎ ‎24. Why did the author hardly feel bored when he was young?‎ A.Because he could have fun in nature. ‎ B. Because he could watch TV all day.‎ C. Because he had many friends. ‎ D. Because he used to explore the old dirt road.‎ ‎25. How did the author feel when he was exploring the dirt road?‎ A.He thought he would be scolded by his parents. ‎ B. He felt contradictory in mind.‎ C. He thought he would be trapped in the woods. ‎ D. He was unconscious.‎ ‎26. What does "something” probably mean in paragraph 3?‎ A.Doubt B. Hope C. Courage D. Fear ‎27. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?‎ A.Always make choices on our own. ‎ B. All roads lead home.‎ C. It’s our attitude that matters in our life. ‎ D. Every effort is worthwhile. ‎ C In many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly residents and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center---a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond.‎ Established in 1991, the ILC’s purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded. ‎ ‎“For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is ‘normalized’ , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ I’ve had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”‎ As for the seniors, they’re delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.‎ ‎28. ILC is intended to _______.‎ A. build a typical senior living community ‎ B. take good care of the children C. benefit both the children and the seniors ‎ D. rid the seniors of loneliness ‎29. From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _________.‎ A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILC B. come to realize that aging is a normal part of life C. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduation D. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC ‎30. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________.‎ A. the benefits the seniors receive ‎ B. the situation of the seniors C. children’s company ‎ D. the interaction between the children and the seniors ‎31. The underlined words this unique facility may refer to _________. ‎ A. a special building B. a typical family ‎ C. a typical teaching program D. a special learning center ‎ ‎ D Are you content with the shape of your nose? If not, the climate may be to blame , not your parents.‎ This is according to a recent study carried out by scientists from Pennsylvania State University, US. They found that climate played a key role in shaping our noses. The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses of 476 people from four regions---West Africa, East Asia, South Asia and Northern Europe, using 3-D facial imaging technology.‎ ‎“People have thought for a long time the difference in nose shape among humans across the world may have arisen as a result of natural selection because of climate,” Arslan Zaidi, one of the lead authors of the study, told The Guardian. But while previous studies were based on measurements from human skulls, Zaidi and his team looked at nose shape itself.‎ The result showed that wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climates. That, Zaidi said, could be because narrower nasal passages help to increase the moisture(潮湿) content of air and warm it，which is easier on our lungs. This, in turn, led to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator.‎ More study is still needed to test the link between climate and nose shape, but Zaidi believes the current findings are valuable in understanding potential health issue.“As we become more of a global community, we are going to come across climates that we are not adapt to,” he told the Guardian. This means moving to a very different climate might increase the risk of breathing problems.‎ However, he added, “This may not be necessarily true for various reasons such as of modern medicine and the fact that our current climate is very different from what it used to be.”‎ ‎32. From the passage we know most people from Singapore have ________ noses.‎ A. wider B. narrower C. smaller D. larger ‎33. Narrower noses are helpful to ________.‎ A. cool the air B. warm the air C. take in more oxygen D. dry the air ‎34. What can be learned about the study?‎ A. Zaidi’s team measured human skull using 3-D technology.‎ B. Shapes of our noses are determined by our parents.‎ C. Nose shape helps people adapt to the environment.‎ D. It’s certain that people will suffer from more breathing problems.‎ ‎35. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?‎ A. What factors shape noses? ‎ B. How to make your nose attractive? ‎ C. Nose shapes cause breathing problems ‎ D. Climate shapes noses ‎ ‎ ‎ 第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ By 2025, water shortage will be a big problem for about 1.8 billion people. In a world where water resource is increasingly short, nations cannot afford to waste it.___36___After we use water in our homes and businesses, it is washed away, and takes many valuable resources with it.‎ Waste water is rich in carbon and nutrients. ___37___ A number of nations and major cities have already built waste water treatment plants. They can effectively recover nutrients and bioenergy, and produce “new water” that can be reused. But more than 80% of all waste water still currently flows into natural ecosystems, polluting the environment and taking valuable nutrients and other recoverable materials with it.‎ ‎ ___38___ This is still better than the situation in smaller cities. In Latin American countries, those living in small and medium-sized cities at most treat in the form of septic tanks(化粪池) that lack regular and proper maintenance.‎ Imagine that outside one of these small cities lies a lovely piece of land: on the surface it is pleasingly built and provides habitats for local wildlife. Beneath the surface is a wetland that treats waste water and produces energy. The energy produced saves families from having to use firewood ‎ collected in the wild. This is not a dream project. ___39___ A team of scientists have been looking into the potential of constructed wetland environments. Having analyzed 800 examples of biomass in more than 20 countries, they found that, depending on climate and the type of plant used in the construction of this type of wetland, up to 45 hectares of land could be irrigated using waste water. ___40___ ‎ A. But that is exactly what we do.‎ B. This can provide ready access to clean water.‎ C. There is no longer any good reason to waste any type of water.‎ D. A “constructed wetland environment” is already in practice on a small scale .‎ E. This would reduce the need for fresh water for irrigation and energy for pumping.‎ F. If collected and treated properly, it could provide new water, fertilizer, and energy. ‎ G. Although waste-water systems in large cities are effective ,the whole procedure usually costs much.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ An old woman was sitting outside an ice-cream shop with dirty clothes and rough hair.
